Iron Cannon fragment.

I’d sure like to know the story on how the cannon blew up.
I found this a few years ago after a Hurricane washed away 8 feet of sand dune. It was an encrusted / rusted piece. I finally got around to electrolysis this weekend and it cleaned up great. I have estimated the barrel diameter by the curvature in the piece. It’s a 4″ barrel (9 pounder) The guitar pick is for scale.
